Configure game content
Copy the game you just deployed to the Electronjs/Build-Windows/resources/app folder, but be careful not to copy the package.json file. Next, extract the Steamworks SDK, and then copy the steam_api64.dll file located in the sdk/redistributable_bin/win64 folder into the Electronjs/Build-Windows/resources/app folder. After that, run the Game.exe located in the Build-Windows folder. It's normal for the application to crash immediately on the first run since I’ve already included functionality that automatically converts NW.js-specific code for use with Electron.js. Then, go back to the Electronjs/Build-Windows/resources/app folder and check if a file named replace_done.flag has been generated. If it exists, do not delete this file. Finally, compress all the files in the Build-Windows folder and upload them to the Steamworks backend.
